When in season, wild mushrooms work really well as a simple gourmet pizza topping.

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
2 garlic cloves, crushed
250g mixed wild mushrooms such as shiitake and oyster, sliced if large
250g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced
100g baby spinach leaves
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 (15cm each) bought pizza bases
125g soft goat's cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2.

Place olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. When it is very hot, add garlic and mushrooms and cook quickly until mushrooms are just wilted but not releasing any liquid. Add the spinach and lemon juice and allow spinach to just wilt.
3.

Season with salt and cracked black pepper, then remove from heat.
4.

Spread the pizza bases with goat's cheese and place on a baking tray.
5.

Pile the mushroom mixture on top and drizzle with a little more oil. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. To serve, sprinkle with chives and dollop with creme fraiche, if desired.
